Blessed is he that considereth the poor:
The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive,
And will not deliver him into the will of his enemies.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall find mercy.

Follow after charity.
There is hope, faith, and charity,
But the greatest of these is charity.

Blessed is he that considereth the poor:
The Lord shall strengthen him upon the bed of languishing.

He that giveth to the Lord, he lendeth to the Lord,
And he will repay it.

The poor man cried, and the Lord heard him,
And delivered him from all his trouble.
A father to the fatherless, the widow's God and guide.

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father
Is to visit the widow and fatherless,
And to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Blessed be the Lord, Praise the Lord, Amen.
And let all the people say, Amen.
Hallelujah, Amen.
